Overview

This private day tour to Aswan takes you to three of the city's most recognised sites. You will visit the beautiful Philae Temple, which was dedicated to the Goddess Isis. The stop offers a close look at the temple's atmosphere and presence within Aswan's cultural landscape. You will then journey on to the High Dam and the unfinished Obelisk. These visits let you see two very different but important landmarks in the area: the large-scale engineering of the dam and the incomplete monument that reveals ancient stone-working techniques. Along the way you'll move between these distinct sites and have time to take in their scale and setting. The focus of the tour is on experiencing Philae Temple, the High Dam and the unfinished Obelisk during a private day in Aswan.
